The German made Schuler Reform Pistol was produced between 1907 and 1914. The pistol was chambered for 6.35mm(.25 acp) and featured 4 vertically stacked barrels. The firing mechanism worked much like that of a double action revolver. After the first round was fired pressure on the trigger would raise the barrels to the next chamber. Three holes were drilled in the barrels to allow gas from the fired round to escape into the previously fired barrel and eject the empty casing. The pistol was made with a tall curved hammer so the empty casing would be deflected away from the shooter. The last casing had to be removed manually. Though strange in design the Schuler Reform Pistol made an excellent pocket pistol because of its weight (12 oz.) and how thin it is. Unfortunately is in in only fair condition, and the "magazine" does not insert properly as the "Hand" sticks out too far.

RARE Five British Military-Police Mark III Special Martini-Greener Police Gun Shotshells (ECA)
Lot #176 (Sale Order 177 of 252)
The bottle necked Mark III Special Greener Police Gun Shotshell was a drawn brass, crimped closure cartridge specially designed for use with Greener's Police Gun Mark III Shotgun. It was deliberately intended to be used with nothing else. The Police Gun was a Martini-Action shotgun used by British Colonial Police forces (particularly in Egypt) during the early 1900's. It was adapted so that it would only allow cartridges, made specifically for the weapon, to be fired. This bottle necked form of the cartridge was enough to prevent the weapon's unauthorized use on it's own, but a second feature was included by Greener... By adding a large annular groove in the base of the cartridge head and two lugs that protrude from the front face of the breech block. When a cartridge is loaded into the chamber, the lugs registered in the annular groove in the base of the case. This meant that the weapon could only be closed and fired if the special grooved cartridges were used. These cartridges are in very good condition.

Minolta 16 QT Subminiature 16mm Camera (JGD)
Lot #219 (Sale Order 220 of 252)
The Minolta 16 QT was the last of Minolta's 16mm subminiature cameras, a series that began with the Konan-16 Automat in 1947. Introduced in 1972, the QT coincided with the launch of Kodak's 110 format, which was the end for 16mm subminature cameras with proprietary cassettes (with a few exceptions). The following year, 1973, Minolta brought out the Pocket Autopak 50 for 110, while production of the Minolta 16 QT was discontinued a year later. The camera features more plastic in its construction than previous Minolta subminiature models, making for a lighter camera, and the design isn't dissimilar to that of contemporary 110 format cameras. The QT is notable for being the only Minolta 16mm camera that had a focussing lens: previous cameras had fixed focus lenses, and while some had built-in 'portrait' filters, clip-on filters were also provided for distance focus - some cameras would not provide sufficient depth of field at wide apertures to focus on infinity. Incidentally, the Minolta 16 QT can use close up filters initially designed for copy stand work with the Minolta-16 MG-S. The appeal of subminiature cameras is primarily their compact size. It is in very good condition with accessories.

Imperial Roman Augustus Caesar Bronze Coin (JEK)
Lot #241 (Sale Order 242 of 252)
This Imperial Roman Augustus Caesar Antioch Mint Coin is in fair condition. Augustus was the founder of the Roman Principate and considered the first Roman emperor, controlling the Roman Empire from 27 BC until his death in AD 14. His maternal great-uncle Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC, and Octavius was named in Caesar's will as his adopted son and heir, then known as Octavianus. He, Mark Antony, and Marcus Lepidus formed the Second Triumvirate to defeat the assassins of Caesar. Following their victory at the Battle of Philippi, the Triumvirate divided the Roman Republic among themselves and ruled as military dictators. The Triumvirate was eventually torn apart by the competing ambitions of its members. Lepidus was driven into exile and stripped of his position, and Antony committed suicide following his defeat at the Battle of Actium by Octavian in 31 BC. After the demise of the Second Triumvirate, Augustus restored the outward façade of the free Republic, with governmental power vested in the Roman Senate, the executive magistrates, and the legislative assemblies. In reality, however, he retained his autocratic power over the Republic as a military dictator. By law, Augustus held a collection of powers granted to him for life by the Senate, including supreme military command, and those of tribune and censor. It took several years for Augustus to develop the framework within which a formally republican state could be led under his sole rule. He rejected monarchical titles, and instead called himself Princeps Civitatis ("First Citizen of the State"). The resulting constitutional framework became known as the Principate, the first phase of the Roman Empire. The reign of Augustus initiated an era of relative peace known as the Pax Romana (The Roman Peace).

As emperor, Alexander's peace time reign was prosperous. However, Rome was militarily confronted with the rising Sassanid Empire and growing incursions from the tribes of Germania. He managed to check the threat of the Sassanids. but when campaigning against Germanic tribes, Alexander attempted to bring peace by engaging in diplomacy and bribery. This alienated many in the Roman Army and led to a conspiracy to assassinate and replace him.
Imperial Roman Emperor Cripus Caeser Bronze Coin (JEK)
Lot #243 (Sale Order 244 of 252)
This Imperial Roman Emperor Cripus Caeser Bronze Coin was produced by the Nicomedia Mint from 317-326. It is in very good condition. Flavius Julius Crispus was a Co-Caesar under Constantine of the Roman Empire. Crispus was leader in victorious military operations against the Franks and the Alamanni thus secuingd the continued Roman presence in the areas of Gaul and Germania. The soldiers adored him thanks to his strategic abilities and the victories to which he had led the Roman legions. Crispus spent the following years assisting Constantine in the war against by then hostile Licinius. In 324, Constantine appointed Crispus as the commander of his fleet which left the port of Piraeus to confront the rival fleet of Licinius. The subsequent Battle of the Hellespont was fought in at the straits of Bosporus. The 200 ships under the command of Crispus managed to utterly beat the enemy forces which were at least double in number. Thus Crispus achieved his most important and difficult victory which further established his reputation as a brilliant soldier and general. Following his navy activities, Crispus was assigned part of the legions loyal to his father. The other part was commanded by Constantine himself. Crispus led the legions assigned to him in another victorious battle outside Chrysopolis against the armies of Licinius. In 326, Crispus' life came to a sudden end: on his father's orders, condemned to death and executed. Soon afterwards, Constantine had his own wife, Fausta, killed; she was drowned in an over-heated bath. The reason for this act remains unclear and historians have long debated Constantine's motivation. It is reported that Fausta, stepmother of Crispus, was extremely jealous of him. She was reportedly afraid that Constantine would put aside her sons she bore him. So, in order to get rid of Crispus, Fausta set him up. She reportedly told the young Caesar that she was in love with him and suggested an illegitimate love affair. Crispus denied the immoral wishes of Fausta and left the palace in a state of shock. She reported to Constantine that she dismissed him after his attempt to rape her. Constantine believed her and, true to his strong personality and short temper, executed his beloved son. A few months later, Constantine reportedly found out the whole truth and then killed Fausta

Imperial Roman Emperor Constantine II Bronze Coin (JEK)
Lot #246 (Sale Order 247 of 252)
This Imperial Roman Emperor Constantine II coin was produced from 317-337. It is in good condition. Constantine II was Roman Emperor from 337 to 340. Son of Constantine the Great and co-emperor alongside his brothers, his attempt to exert his perceived rights of primogeniture led to his death in a failed invasion of Italy in 340. The eldest son of Constantine the Great, at the age of seven, he took part in his father's campaign against the Sarmatians. At age ten, he became commander of Gaul, following the death of Crispus. His military career continued when Constantine I made him field commander during the 332 campaign against the Goths.
Following the death of his father in 337, Constantine II initially became emperor jointly with his brothers Constantius II and Constans, with the Empire divided between them. This arrangement barely survived Constantine I’s death, as his sons arranged the slaughter of most of the rest of the family by the army and divided the Roman world between themselves. Constantine, proclaimed Augustus by the troops received Gaul, Britannia and Hispania. He was soon involved in the struggle between factions rupturing the unity of the Christian Church. The Western portion of the Empire, under the influence of the Popes in Rome, favored Catholicism over Arianism This action aggravated Constantius II, who was a committed supporter of Arianism.
Further complications arose when Constans came of age and Constantine, who had grown accustomed to dominating his younger brother, would not relinquish the guardianship. In 340 Constantine marched into Italy at the head of his troops. Constans, at that time in Dacia, detached and sent a select and disciplined body of his Illyrian troops, stating that he would follow them in person with the remainder of his forces. Constantine was engaged in military operations and was killed in an ambush outside Aquileia. Constans then took control of his deceased brother's realm.

The resulting conflict left Constantine II dead and Constans as ruler of the west until he was overthrown and assassinated in 350 by the usurper Magnentius. Unwilling to accept Magnentius as co-ruler, Constantius defeated him at the battles of Mursa Major and Mons Seleucus, leaving Constantius as sole ruler of the empire. His subsequent military campaigns against Germanic tribes were successful: he defeated the Alamanni in 354 and campaigned across the Danube against the Quadi and Sarmatians in 357. In contrast, the war in the east against the Sassanids continued with mixed results.
